Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help. My 1.7 Puma started and immediately cut out. It then refused to start :-( it turns over but doesn't want to catch. Any help appreciated. Alex

Long term member, don't often have the time to post. My black 2001 is looking a bit tatty. It's got several knocks on it but I still love it. My mate is a retired Ford engineer and loves these cars, so he often finds them and can do them up for a fraction of the price it would cost the average...

This morning on the way to work, my little car ticked over the 100,000 mile mark. I don't know if I should be happy we've got here without a single problem or if I should be worried that I'm now in the high mile danger zone. I know there's been the thread on the highest milage Puma, with quite...

Hi Guys The company I work for sponsor Driftworks, and they brought their V10 powered E46 M3 down to our office on Monday Thought I'd post in case you'd like a look! The noise is incredible 8-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc_yXqhUSZI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Alex

Is it just me that is scanning Google every day to see if there's any news? I was very very tempted to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S2 at the weekend but the rumors about iPhone 5 are increasing every day towards an October launch date, I hope so!

Does anyone on the forum know who owns the Puma with the highest mileage? only wondering because I'm on 93500 and the engine still feels great. Can they go above 150,000? because that's the target i'll be aiming for :P

Driving home late Sunday night from Bournemouth uni to Potters Bar after visiting my girlfriend, driving on the M3 only around 60mph as it's dark etc, cars flying past me on the outside lane with no problems whatsoever. Driving round a long bend, not sharp at all and the Puma starts sliding in...

Hi Guys Not too sure if this is a problem that anyone else has had but recently my Puma's driver's side window has been sticking. It will eventually go up after I've put it down and up again a few times but it's getting annoying! Plus it doesn't seem to be shutting properly meaning at speeds...

Does anyone know how difficult it is to fit a new door? some fool crashed into my passenger side back in October, and I've bought another door but was wondering if there are any complications with the different locks and confusing the ECU? and how easy it is to hang a new door? I would really...

Hi all! I've got 2 problems with my Puma. Firstly about 3 months ago the remote central locking on my car gave up and I had to revert to using the key in the door. The drivers door wouldn't unlock the car but it would lock it. The passenger side does both fine. This worked Ok until recently...

Whilst browsing around the forum I notice that the recommended oil for the 1.7's is 5W30 due to the Nikalsi cylinder lining. Only problem is that my Puma 1.7 has been using 10W40 pretty much all it's life. I looked at old MOT'S and service reciepts and it seems to always have had it, but...

Mint Moondust silver I see every morning, envious of untouched arches ! :)

driving through a car park (this actually happened in November but recently had a bad turn of events) and a lady decides to reverse out of her space at 100 miles an hour, with no lights on, in the dark straight into the side of my pride and joy. She admitted liability there and then, gave me...

I'm sorry to post yet another MPG thread, but I needed to ask. I don't really agree with moaning about MPG figures when you have a sporty car, if you want good mileage for money you should buy a diesel, little engined car etc. However, I've been forced to ignore my own views recently because 3...

Got a letter from the cop shop the other day, saying theres an investigation against me for dangerous driving, insecure load and driving without due care and attention!! just so happened that I had a little fall out with another motorist who had just climbed out of a Fiesta ST and just marched...

Hi Guys, I'm sure this is a subject that some of you may be fimilar with! But my new 1.7 has some slight rust on the rear drivers side arch :evil: , It's not hugely noticeably but I'd love to get rid of it. Is there a way of removing this or at least preventing any further damage to my...

Hi All! Been a while since I joined so thought I'd say Hi! Just recently passed my test and bought a mint 2001 1.7 Black Puma from my neighbour and I love it!! Im 20 years old, live in Middlesex and work for Sky Insurance. Will be putting some pics of the beauty up soon. Alex
